Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to the field of drilling, and more particularly to the field of rotary guidance for controlling drilling guidance.
- In order to obtain natural resources storaged underground, drilling exploration is required. In many cases, the wellbore and the derrick are not aligned, but need to form a certain offset or bend. This process of forming horizontal or vertical offsets or other types of complex holes is called directional drilling. In the process of directional drilling, the direction control of the drill bit is called guidance. Modern directional drilling has two types: sliding guidance and rotary guidance. The drill string does not rotate when sliding guiding drilling; the bottom hole power drill (turbine drill, screw drill) drives the drill bit to rotate. The screw drilling tool and part of the drill string and the centralizer can only slide up and down against the well wall. Its shortcomings are large friction, effective weight-on-bit, low torque and power, low drilling rate, the wellbore spiralled and unsmooth and unclean, poor quality, easy to accident, and often forced to start the drill disc with “composite drilling”, and “composite drilling” is often limited to use. The limit depth of sliding guidance is less than 4000 m·ln order to change the orientation of the hole, it is necessary to change the structure of the drill string. Rotary steerable drilling system is the rotary drive of the drill string, the drill string and the rotary guiding tool are rolled on the well wall, and the rolling friction resistance is small. The rotary steerable drilling system can control and adjust its slanting and orienting function during drilling, and can complete the slanting, increasing the slope, stabilizing the slope and descending the slope along with the drilling process, and the friction is small, the torque is small, the drilling speed is high, larger drill bit penetration, the aging is high, the cost is low, and the well shaft is easy to control. With a limit of 15 km, it is a new type of weapon for drilling complex structural wells and offshore oil systems and super-large displacement wells (10 km).

During the entire guiding process, the control system needs to continuously measure the attitude of the non-rotating sleeve (the attitude measuring system and the control unit are generally installed in the non-rotating sleeve), and output control commands according to the attitude parameters. However, during the operation of the drilling system, the non-rotating sleeve will rotate with the drilling system due to inertia and non-negligible friction. Although the rotation speed of the non-rotating sleeve is lower than the driving shaft, the rotating non-rotating sleeve will still brings trouble to the attitude measurement, which makes the measurement accuracy difficult to guarantee, which in turn affects the control precision of the control system and affects the entire guiding operation.

When the anti-rotating member protrudes from the body, the anti-rotating member can contact the well wall, and under the action of the spring, the anti-rotating member can maintain the contact state with a certain force, and certainly, the reaction of the well wall will also cause the anti-rotating component to have a tendency to retract the body, and the balance between the two trends is maintained by the action of the spring. The anti-rotating member may be in the form of a sheet as a whole, and the well wall can block the rotation of the anti-rotating member when the anti-rotating member abuts against the well wall. - For a more detailed understanding of the working principle of the present embodiment, reference is made to
FIG. 3 below.FIG. 3 exemplarily shows an implementation manner of the present application, and those skilled in the art should understand that the implementation manner should not be used as a specific limitation of the scope of protection of the claims in this application. - The anti-rotating device 4 shown in
FIG. 3 comprises the body (not labeled) which is generally strip-shaped, the left end of the body is provided with a pin hole, the anti-rotating device 4 is integrally connected to the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17 through a mountingpin 3 mounted in the pin hole. A fixing screw (not shown) for fixing the body to the mountingpin 3 is also provided on the body. Corresponding pin hole is provided in the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17 to accommodate the mountingpin 3, and the mountingpin 3 is rotatable within the pin hole of the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17. The anti-rotating device 4 comprises a top-loading spring 5, the top-loading spring 5 is mounted on the body substantially along the axial direction of the drive shaft by means of thespring seat 16, this way of mounting ensures that the anti-rotating device 4 does not increase the radial dimension of the structure. - The anti-rotating device 4 further includes the
anti-rotating member 7 which has a substantially disk shape, and theanti-rotating member 7 is mounted on theanti-rotating member base 6 by asecond mounting pin 14. - The
anti-rotating member base 6 is provided with a pin hole, and theanti-rotating member base 6 is rotatably mounted on the body by a first mountingpin 15 mounted in the pin hole, the left side of the top-loading spring 5 abuts against the side wall of the body, and the right side acts on the side wall of theanti-rotating member base 6. Due to the action of the top-loading spring 5,anti-rotating member base 6 on which theanti-rotating member 7 is mounted tends to rotate about the first mountingpin 15, so that theanti-rotating member 7 projects outwardly and contacts the well wall. The substantially disk-shapedanti-rotating member 7 is mounted on theanti-rotating member base 6 via asecond mounting pin 14, therefore, the axial force acting on theanti-rotating member 7 during the drilling process is not excessively transmitted to the anti-rotating device and the drive shaft. The radial force acting on theanti-rotating member 7 causes a tendency for theanti-rotating member 7 and theanti-rotating member base 6 to compress the top-loading spring 5 inwardly. The greater the elastic force of the top-loading spring 5, the greater the force acting on the shaft wall of theanti-rotating member 7, the smaller the elastic force, and the smaller the force acting on the well wall. Correspondingly, the greater the force of theanti-rotating member 7 in contact with the well wall, the greater the resistance of the well wall to the circumferential rotation of theanti-rotating member 7, and the better the anti-rotating effect of the anti-rotating device for the non-rotating sleeve. however, if the force of theanti-rotating member 7 and the well wall is too large, the rigidity of the anti-rotating device may be too large, and it may be damaged under the long-term action of the well wall, and an appropriate resilient member may be selected according to the type of the formation. Certainly, the top-loading spring used in the embodiment is used as a resilient member, and those skilled in the art can understand that the use of other types of resilient members, such as a disc spring, a leaf spring, etc., can also achieve the corresponding technical effects. It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, in the concept of the present invention, there are many alternatives to the mounting of theanti-rotating member 7 within the anti-rotating device 4. -
FIG. 4 discloses another anti-rotating device structure that is generally similar to the structure shown inFIG. 3 , the difference is that the driving of theanti-rotating member 7 is driven by the top-loading spring 5 through the wedge-shapedanti-rotating member base 6 in cooperation with the inclined surface of theanti-rotating member 7, Correspondingly, the effect of the well wall on theanti-rotating element 7 also compresses the top-loading spring 5 via the wedge-shapedanti-rotating member base 6. - In combination with
FIG. 1 andFIG. 3 below, in some cases, the drill tool assembly may have two non-rotating sleeves, by applying a guiding force from the first non-rotating sleeve to the second non-rotating sleeve, the direction of the second non-rotating sleeve is changed, and then the direction of the lower drive shaft and the tool head is changed, and the rotary guidance of the drill tool assembly is realized. Another technical problem to be solved by the present embodiment is how to prevent the rotation of the two non-rotating sleeves in a compact structure, and it is desirable to solve the driving problem of the rotary guidance at the same time. - To this end, the inventors have made further improvements to the anti-rotating device and the drilling tool assembly. Specifically, the anti-rotating device is mounted on the first
non-rotating sleeve 17 at one end by the mountingpin 3, and the other end of the anti-rotating device is freely movable relative to the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17, thereby forming a swing structure with the mountingpin 3 as a fulcrum. It is particularly important for the technical problem to be further solved that the anti-rotating device of the present embodiment further includes aradial driving member 8, which may be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor-driven plunger. Theradial driving member 8 is mounted between the body of the anti-rotating device and the upper drive shaft. As shown in the figure, a recess for accommodating theradial driving member 8 is provided on the body of the anti-rotating device, and theradial driving member 8 is capable of driving the anti-rotating device to swing about the mountingpin 3. Anextension 13 is disposed at the end of the body of the anti-rotating device adjacent to the second 1 s non-rotating sleeve 9, the extension is at least partially coincident with the second non-rotating sleeve 9 in a radial direction, thereby, the extension can abut against the inner wall of the second non-rotating sleeve 9 when theradial driving member 8 pushes the anti-rotating device as a whole to swing outward. - A further detailed explanation combined with
FIG. 5 ,FIG. 6a andFIG. 6b will be described below, in general, the anti-rotating device of the present embodiment may have three or four, and the three or four anti-rotating devices are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , the invention has three evenly distributed anti-rotating devices. According to different needs, the anti-rotating device of the present embodiment has at least two optional working modes. As shown inFIG. 6 , - In the neutral mode, the radial driving members of the three anti-rotating to devices respectively apply the same force outwards, so that the
respective extensions 13 abut against the inner wall of the second non-rotating sleeve 9 with the same force. The force of eachradial driving member 8 is the same, so that the resultant force of the plurality of anti-rotating devices uniformly acting on the second non-rotating sleeve 9 through the extending 13 is zero, and the direction of the second non-rotating sleeve 9 is not changed. And because theextension 3 abuts against the inner wall of the second non-rotating sleeve 9 with a certain force, during the anti-rotating device realizes the anti-rotating process of the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17, the second non-rotating sleeve 9 that is abutted together can also be prevented from rotating. As shown inFIG. 6b , in the guideing driving mode, the respective radial driving members evenly distributed on the three or four anti-rotating devices can output different forces, the resultant force of the outputs of all the radial driving members becomes the force for changing the direction of the second non-rotating sleeve 9, that is, the guiding driving force, when the direction of the second non-rotating sleeve 9 is changed, the direction of thelower drive shaft 11 connected to theupper drive shaft 1 through theuniversal joint 10 is also changed, and eventually, the direction of the tool head is changed. - In another aspect, the invention also discloses a rotary guiding device based on the non-rotating sleeve, which comprises: a first
non-rotating sleeve 17, a second non-rotating sleeve 19, and the anti-rotating device 4 as described above, the firstnon-rotating sleeve 17 and the anti-rotating device 4 is connected, and the anti-rotating device 4 is connected to the second non-rotating sleeve 19. - The anti-rotating device 4 is connected with the second non-rotating sleeve 9 as follows: the anti-rotating device has an extension, the extension and the second non-rotating sleeve have overlapping portions in the axial direction. The anti-rotation device 4 and the second non-rotating sleeve 9 have overlapping portions in the axial direction. The overlapping portion can be an
axial extension 13 on the anti-rotation device 4, theaxial extension 13 extending into the interior of the second non-rotating sleeve 9. - The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on differences from the other embodiments. Particularlly, for the system embodiment, since it is basically similar to the method embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the method embodiment.
- The above description is only the embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the application. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the present application are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
